GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Installation in manufactured (mobile) home
Installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] or, when such standard is not

●
Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate by blowing a downward air
flow on to a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when
the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an independent test
laboratory for use in combination.
